This hotel was clean, central to everything we wanted to see. The hotel staff was helpful. The parking was close and reasonable. The only negative was only one elevator for a large place and wait times were sometimes longer than one would like, but a very small negative.

The hotel was very comfortable and in a convenient part of the city, within a short walk to the centre. Shops and bars nearby. We managed to park nearby. Bear in mind that the bar closes at 11:00 pm so if you are looking for a late evening drink, make sure you order early.
